Question #9:

In the bottom just right of center are 3 letters, DMS. A Google search finds too many Web pages. In Wikipedia a search for DMS finds about 50 articles ranging from Dealership Management System to Dickerson Middle School; fortunately, Wikipedia groups these articles and one grouping called "In Science" we find a chemistry entry called Dimethyl Sulfide. Now we know what the DMS stands for. Here is the link to that article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfide
One of the labs in CHM107LL involves boiling red cabbage. I've had a few students complain about the smell of cooked cabbage. Read the dimethyl sulfide article in Wikipedia and report what is responsible for the unpleasant smell when cabbage is cooked and also report what other food contains dimethyl sulfide.
